We have always found them helpful and knowledgeable , and they have always "understood " every manufacturing issue we faced , and offered a solution ----- ### "Fantastic System" — 5.0/5 > **Rachael** | *29 July 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our experience with E-max has been extremely positive, the software was quick to install, easy to use and the support staff have been amazing, ironing out any issues we may have experienced over the last 3 years. We would highly recommend E-Max ERP > > **Cons**: No problems to report, in our experience everything has run as smoothly as we would expect, with a new production system being installed. > > Brilliant system that has worked well for us being a very busy Fabrication Company. Stocks are well controlled throughout the system, traceability is brilliant which helps when we are Audited. Dashboards have been set up for each different department, creating great visibility for keeping up to date. Development has been outstanding, creating bespoke features that we have required. Support have been there to help with any issues and sorted with ease. E-Max ERP we would highly recommend. ----- ### "Not ready for Market" — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *5 May 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: All though we, like others in our area, decided to abandon the E-Max implementation (after around 18 months) there were some positives. The support team in Glasgow were found to be very responsive and did try very hard to sort issues, however, were many time let down by the basic system therefore leading to an unsatisfactory outcome. > > **Cons**: Simply, after 18 months of trying, we and E-Max could not get this system to work in our business. at around 9 months the technical director personally took hold of our system and eventually we offered them 6 re-attempts at configuring the system and getting this to work, however, every new system failed testing in some fairly critical ways (either stock control or accounting being the main factors). We were unique in that we have three brands under our our group company and I do believe this may have been a contributing factor to the eventual withdrawal. However, at quotation we were assured this would not be an issue. Additionally were are in conversations with another 3 businesses who are more simple in their set up and they found similar issues and have either pulled the implementation or reverted to the older E-Max system which does seem to work much better but is not a true ERP solution. > > Obviously given our rating, our overall experience was not good and we would not recommend this system to other manufacturing businesses such as our own. Perhaps the older system may have worked but we already operated a system with similar functionality so made no sense for us. After taking the decision to abandon the implementation we have also found the senior management to be quite elusive to further discussions. ----- ### "Highly recommend E-Max ERP" — 5.0/5 > **Keely** | *27 July 2026* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The dashboards and reporting that you can see is fantastic, gives great visibility over the whole company. I really like the unlimited ability with the filters and views to capture and view any information you wish. The support and development help is also fantastic\! Support are always helpful and there if I have any questions or issues needing resolved quickly. Development have also been fantastic and are always open to discussions around creating bespoke features. They then help design, test and implement those features. I find the design very easy to work with and would definitely recommend this software. > > **Cons**: It was a big adjustment at the start and we had trouble with some of our data but this was because we didn't have the correct, clean data when we imported everything into the software. > > My overall experience with E-Max ERP has been incredibly positive. It feels like a team and a partnership as they work and grown with your company. They have fantastic support and incredibly helpful staff. The software is very straight forward and easy to use. I would highly recommend E-Max ERP. ----- ### "E-Max Review" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *31 March 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: E-Max is well suited for our needs. We have a clear overview of all our orders in E-Max. Our on-time delivery has improved significantly since we introduced E-Max as we can track the progress of every order through the business as it happens. The inventory control has been great. This has been useful for quoting future jobs. E-Max also has a number of reports available through the system from the everyday order acknowledgment and invoices to stock valuation and forecasting reports which saves us a lot of time. > > **Cons**: Not many. It does take time to train and learn the system but once you become comfortable with the process it is much quicker than how we previously did these tasks. Getting the correct reports for our process did take a bit longer as we really needed to use and understand the system to work out what reports we needed but the E-Max team were helpful in offering us advice on this. > > Been with E-Max for 12 years, it works well for our needs. They have been very responsive whenever we have had any issues. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/451156/E-Max-ERP?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/451156/E-Max-ERP) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
